Zii Trinity mobile platform packs 1080p punch, looking for OEM love

Ready to start lusting after a new smartphone? If Creative has its way, you'll soon be enjoying Full HD video on a 3.5 / 4G device, with built-in WiFi, 5 megapixel autofocus camera, accelerated 3D graphics, and mini-HDMI and Composite video outputs. The newly announced 3.1-inch, multitouch-capable Zii Trinity has been designed by Creative subsidiary Ziilabs, and will be licensed out to clients who'll be able to customize a Zii-optimized Android install and Plaszma interface. As if we haven't got enough smartphone ecosystems knocking about already, this also marks the introduction of ZiiLife, which aims to be both a content delivery and productivity suite. Powered by the ARM-based ZMS-05 or ZMS-08, the new handset actually seems destined to perform plenty of KIRF and grey market duties, judging by Creative's "strategic partnerships" with Chinese manufacturers, but that might be no bad thing as, according to Gartner, the grey market is booming right now.

@xconan not if nobody picks it up, I have a feeling this will never see the light of day just like the egg.

The screen needs to be bigger...and this looks like an Instinct, which is already outdated in appearance, beat with an ugly stick.

And I can't even deal with the Zii name and logo right now.

Fail. All of this is fail.

Dear ZiiLabs,

Please sort out the issues with the zii egg before taking on another project.

5mp camera?
Didn't the egg have a 720p or 1080p camera?
Stupid!
I'd rather just buy the developer's egg instead, lol.
